Subject: nanny's husband while we are away
I am a nanny, and my employer lets my boyfriend come over sometimes if I'm doing overnights. They know him well and he often comes to hang out with the kids and I if he's off from work, so its never been a huge thing.
I suppose it all depends on the relationship you have with your nanny! If it makes you uncomfortable, don't do it! I never asked my employer if my BF could stay with me, she was the one who brought it up and said he was more than welcome.

I left a job because my MB didn't respect my family time. She'd want me to go away on all these weekend trips and not pay me extra for it and not understand my husband didn't like it. I worked long hours during the week and sometimes a night shift if they had plans. Then she wanted be right back at 8am the next day. Hello? I don't get to see my husband at all? She'd get so mad because she's send me a two page text about all the nights and weekends she wanted me to work. Once there was four Saturday's in a row! Holy burn out! We'd have plans and I'd say no. If she's not getting to see him hardly at all that weekend I don't see how dinner could hurt.

We have a long-term professional nanny whom we occasionally use for overnights and weekends. She has asked to have her husband come hang out with her after our kids go to bed, and we refused. Nothing personal- we have met him and like him- but I am paying my nanny to work, not to socialize.
Re: the overnight payment- when our nanny stays over, we lay her her full overtime rate until our kids go to bed, and then a flat overnight fee of $100. I have never heard of a nanny getting their full overtime rate for each hour that she "works" overnight (while she is sleeping)- that would be quite odd, and for us, cost prohibitive.
You are cheap. federal law mandates that ALL domestic employees are paid OT after 40 hours. Unless she 's, leave the house, get drunk or socialize, the, she should be paid OT. Who gives a damn if it is cost prohibitive for you. She was entitled to OT and she should have turned the gig down.
actually, federal law allows you to have 8 unpaid hours out of a 24 hour shift if an employee has both the means and opportunity to get uninterrupted sleep. You may insist on full OT all night (good luck with that) but please know the laws before you start throwing around what you are"entitled" to.
Ok, but you better be prepared to pay extra if your child wakes up for even a moment.
Since MBs like to quote the law when it's convenient, if the child wakes and requires care at any point during the night, the entire night should be paid at regular or OT rates if they apply. No one gives a hoot if that's too cost prohibitive for you PP. If you can't afford it, don't buy it, just like the rest of us.
Well said. Having a nanny is luxury child care. People can find a friend or neighbor if they can't afford a nanny. Of course they'd have to reciprocate in some way. Yikes! Maybe that's the problem.
This. Or take their kids with them or do without the trip, like the peons who can't afford a nanny do.
